Auto flower?
Schafe1001started grow question 1mo ago
So unless my research is wrong. Auto flowers are crossed with ruderrelis oh whatever they call that Russian stuff in the cold weather. If this is the case, then they will never achieve what a land race photo. Will.

No the ruderalis hemp hybrids will never be able to reach a stabilized uniform genetic like a photoperiod IBL or natural landrace and still be psychoactive enough to use like a drug plant. You are fully right. Hemp genetics are dominant over drug plants. That means once the edible hemp (Ruderalis Hemp) is crossed with a drug plant (reduces thc content of drug plant by half) and bred forward it degrades more and more into hemp each generation and would no longer be useful psychoactive weed, just hempy hay taste, no real terps, and no high. It would have to be backcrossed with drug plants as it degrades, making it again an unstable hybrid. Photoperiod drug plants can be selected and bred forward generation after generation and not lose their psychoactive potency, becoming stabilized, reliable, predictable high performers. Plus hemp hybrids have limited terpene breadth and are weaker psychoactive, weaker in thc. There may be claims or anomies that the auto hemp is approaching photoperiod drug plants potency 😏 or there are examples of auto hemp having high THC numbers 😏 but those would be super rare anomoloies. Thats not what you will be getting from the commercial suppliers, and any lab test will show you that. You are dead right. Auto hemp is really the bottom of the barrel genetics sold at ridiculous prices for what you actually get. Thats why the hype and marketing is so hard up on them. Its the only way they will sell. Hype, myth, and deception. No respect for growers. If its good...real good... it doesn't need hype to move. It moves on its own. But this sites overlord is Fastbuds so... expect a lot of push/hype/shill accounts for auto hemp on this site. Best thing you can do is get high quality photoperiods, leave this fastbuds site and join a real forum to spend your time at.

good for growing out of season outdoors... if a climate allows it.
I do like making fun of autoflowers, but if done well human senses likely can't distinguish a top-shelf autoflower from a top-shelf photoperiod. On average you'll do better with photoperiod, but there'd be a lot of overlap on a venn diagram. Still no reason to choose autos if the trigger to cause flower is irrelevant to context. They aren't faster. That's a myth.
Anything an auto can do, a photo can do, but not vice versa.

yep. presuming they are the same pedigree. some autos from real breeders like meph or nightowl are going to throw flower better than most whitelabel beans. growing a trash auto is going to throw better than a competition cut of the greats indoors if you dont understand the basics of cultivating. autos have their place for hobbyists i guess.
the point is generally true but genetics arent as simple as that. im sure if we traced your family tree there would be a straight clown some where in there. maybe you have their hair but arent a clown? it is possible.

Autoflowers have there place, good for outdoors because they finish in a pre determined time of 10 to 14 weeks. So you can get them grown before weather shifts, also good inside if your light isn't powerful for a 12/12 cycle or you need the heat from the light throughout the grow. But photoperiod are the best in my opinion for indoors.
